Chapter 452 Unedited
"Fire, Miss An."
Miss Rachel turned to look at Mr Jun who was another board member. He headed the PR department. "There is no need to go at great length to discuss the things we all know that Miss An had made a big mistake. We should fire her and set an example for the future employees."
"There is no need to take such an extreme step,"Miss Su said. She had been quite close with Mr Lu Zhaolin and since everyone was showing their sides, she decided to do the same. "I agree that Miss An made a mistake but firing her would be too extreme. She is a talented lawyer. She had just joined the company a few months ago and had performed exceptionally. We should punish her but firing is a little too extreme, Mr Jun, don't you think so?"
"Are you saying that we should let this matter slide?" Mr Jun asked.
"I did not say so,"Miss Su answered with a smile. She was in her fifties and carried herself quite elegantly. When she was speaking, it was hard to argue with her because her elegance would not let the other person be rude to her. She was the star lawyer of the firm like Mr Lu and Miss Rachel. Miss Su had fought cases internationally and represented the country on international platforms. If she was saying something, they had to give a thought to her opinion.
'Then what does Miss Su want to say?" It was Chairman Li who asked the question. nOVe)lb.In
"Chairman Li, I am not saying that we should let this matter slide,"Miss Su said. "But like Mr Jun says that Miss An should be fired, it is too extreme. She is a talented employee and we need to nurture her. We all are getting old. All us sitting here one day used to make a team that could frighten anyone but now we are old and tired. Court battles do not interest us. Punish Miss An but do not fire her. That's what I am saying."
"Then, what does Miss Su have to say about Miss yang?" Chairman asked. "Should we not give her an explanation?"
"Would it be okay if we ask Miss An to wait out while we come to a discussion?"Miss Su asked in a polite tone.
"Sure,"Amanda was the first one to agree.
An Xiulan took her leave and waited for the verdict outside.
"Still, it doesn't make sense for Miss An to attack Miss Yang back, "Mr Cao argued. "She is after all an elder. Don't you agree, Mr Lu? Miss Yang is the same age as you. How do you feel about your daughter hitting someone of your age? Do you feel you failed as a father?"
Lu Zhaolin's face hardened. He had no words to refute. He didn't have to answer as Miss Su came to rescue.
lightsnοvεl "I'm elder than Mr Lu and Miss Yang here, "Miss Yang said. "Can I go around acting haughty in someone's office and demand a meeting? And if that person don't grant me an appointment, can I hit that person? Now that I hit that person and the latter is hitting me back, can I come crying to ask you all to punish that person? Is it making sense to you?"
She looked at everyone as their faces changed colours. Her tone didn't match her elegance. However, it didn't make her sound and look harsh either.
What she had said could not be refuted by anyone.
"Miss Yang and her firm has not taken any action because they knew that she was in the wrong, "Miss Su announced. "If they tried to say anything about it to people, we can show them the video that our CCTV camera captured. It will affect Miss Yang's image and she is an artist who will not want to jeopardise her career or image."
"Are you saying that Miss Yang will not take action?" Mr Jun asked.
"On what basis will she take action? It is us who should be taking action against her. She disturbed the office working and negatively affected the office environment, "Miss Su said. "We should sue her."
People held their breath as she said the last sentence.
"Then, we will forgive Miss An?"
"Who said about it?"
